TUNIS
(API-French

Tunisians
fought
in
llic
strecsl
of
Biz-
erle
city
today,
and
Tunisian
President
llabib
Bourguiba
or-
tiered
seizure
of
the
French
pipeline
that
carries
the
output
of
dance's
Sahara
oil
field.
^Bourguiba
said
he
had
ordered
his
trops
to
seize
the
pipeline
at
Skhira,
in
southern
Tunisia.
The
Jinc
carries
the
output
of
France's
Edjclc
field,
225
miles
southeast
of
the
Tunisian
border.
The
president
also
called
for
volunteers
from
all
"brother
nations"
to
help
in
his
desperate
.fight
against
France.
He
said
Tunisia's
ambassadors
in
all
coun-
Wcs
had
been
ordered
to
enlist
flic
volunteers
and
that
Libyans
and
Algerians
had
already
offered
their
services.
The
Tunisian
government
radio
reported
that
clug-in
Tunisian
infantrymen
and
civilian
volunteers
were
battling
French
paratrops
supported
by
tanks
and
rocket
planes
in
the
city
of
Bizerle
astride
the
channel
from
the
Med-
ilcrranean
to
the
French
naval
Rsc
at
Bizerte.
Radio
Tunis
said
French
forces
broke
out
of
the
besieged
Bizerte
naval
base
and
launched
a
predawn
attack
on
the
Mediterranean
port
city
three
miles
away.
Tunisian
troops
holding
the
city
of
-10,000
defied
a
French
ultimatum
to
evacuate.
They
were
ordered
to
fight
to
the
death.
The
Tunis
broodcast
said
there
jlerc
"numerous
dead
and
wounded"
but
Tunisian
infantry
were
holding
their
own
in
the
heart
of
the
city.
Officials
estimated
15,000
volunteers
in
and
around
the
city
were
bolstering
the
troops.
Many
were
wearing
the
red
shorts
and
shirts
of
the
youth
section
of
the
ruling
Nco-
Deslour
(Freedom)
parly.
The
fighting
spread
as
the
U.N.
Security
Council
was
called
into
ffii
emergency
session
at
the
request
of
Tunisia
to
deal
with
the
mounting
crisis.
The
Tunisians
charged
France
with
aggression
and
demanded
the
French
give
up
the
Bizerte
naval
base
they
kept
after
granting
their
former
protectorate
independence
in'
1956.
The
United
States
showed
growing
concern
over
the
clash
between
allied
France
and
friend
P'misja
and
appealed
to
both
to
"end
hostilities
without
delay."
Arab
nations
lined
up
behind
Tunisia
and
denounced
"French
imperialists."
President
Camel
Abclcl
Nasser's
United
Arab
Republic
and
the
Algerian
rebel
government
based
in
Tunisia
offered
troops
to
